Hunger Hurts But Starving Works

Summary:

Remus’ first few weeks in year 11 are off to a great start.
Over the summer holidays he’s managed to get an eating disorder, and now in September he’s found he has a boyfriend he doesn’t quite like.

With a pantomime for school in view he just wishes to get to the end of the year without any more problems

Oh,
And a certain Sirius Black is desperately, irrevocably in-love with him.

Notes:

Hi!!
I’m so excited to publish this fic, I’ve never written a texting fic before so I am a bit nervous… but it’s turned out to be the most fun I’ve ever had writing something
There will be things in here that will turn out to be “cringe” in a few years, but I find them funny now and that’s what’s important.

And as a preface, I have never had an eating disorder and do not currently have one, I’ve researched them to properly portray this in Remus’ character (although I know there is a spectrum in it)
Please inform me if I’ve gotten anything wrong or been insensitive with a part of my fic.

Thankyou!!

from “Remus’ nuts-cracker”
